Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit and is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/730,204, filed Oct. 11, 2017, U.S. Pat. No. 11,276,005, issued on Mar. 15, 2022, and entitled “CASH DELIVERY SERVICE,” the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
Despite the transition to a largely cashless economy, there remains a need for paper money in a number of common daily situations. Travelers abroad may be in urgent need of local currency. Alternatively, one may patronize a shop only to find that automatic teller machine (ATM) cards or credit cards are not accepted forms of payment. In the event of a misplaced or lost wallet, one may be unable to secure cash through traditional means.
In the event that a traveler abroad has U.S. dollars and nearby money changers are charging unconscionable transaction fees, an alternative means of exchanging money is preferable.
A portable, secure, means of accessing cash virtually anywhere and at virtually any time is beneficial.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE DESCRIPTION
Embodiments of the innovation described herein address conventional shortcomings and/or achieve other advantages. The following presents a simplified summary of the innovation in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview of the innovation. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the innovation or to delineate the scope of the innovation. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the innovation in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of delivering cash to a user in a cash delivery network. In aspects, cash may be delivered to a user by a courier in a personal automobile or by an automated vehicle (e.g., car, drone, etc.) serving as a mobile ATM (automated teller machine). Alternatively, a user may request to pick up cash at a designated location in person.
A system of the innovation can include two mobile devices (e.g., cellular phones) connected to a cash delivery network (CDN). A CDN server hosts a cash delivery application. The user connects to the CDN via a mobile phone. A courier also connects to the network via a mobile phone. The user and courier access the cash delivery application as clients. The user and courier are connected to servers associated with their respective financial institutions. Upon approval by the CDN server of a cash request made by the user, the courier delivers cash to the user. Immediately thereafter (or simultaneously therewith), an electronic funds transfer is made from the bank account of the user to the bank account of the courier.
In aspects, the subject innovation provides substantial benefits in terms of convenience. One advantage is that users may receive cash without leaving their present location. Another advantage is that users may access cash even when their credit cards, ATM cards, or identification cards are unavailable.

For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a controller and the controller can be a component. One or more components residing within a process or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer or distributed between two or more computers.
Furthermore, the claimed subject matter can be implemented as a method, apparatus, or article of manufacture using standard programming or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof to control a computer to implement the disclosed subject matter. The term “article of manufacture” as used herein is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device, carrier, or media. Of course, many modifications may be made to this configuration without departing from the scope or spirit of the claimed subject matter.
While certain ways of displaying information to users are shown and described with respect to certain figures as screenshots, those skilled in the relevant art will recognize that various other alternatives can be employed. The terms “screen,” “web page,” “screenshot,” and “page” are generally used interchangeably herein. The pages or screens are stored and/or transmitted as display descriptions, as graphical user interfaces, or by other methods of depicting information on a screen (whether personal computer, PDA, mobile telephone, or other suitable device, for example) where the layout and information or content to be displayed on the page is stored in memory, database, or another storage facility.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are directed toward access and delivery of cash from a courier to a network user or subscriber. While these figures (and the figures that follow) describe specific examples of a cash delivery system in accordance with the innovation, it will be appreciated that alternative aspects exist that are to be included within the spirit and scope of the innovation as described herein.
FIG. 1 illustrates an example system block diagram of a cash delivery network (CDN) 100, managed by a CDN server 110 that facilitates the delivery of cash to a first network user 120 by means of courier (second user) 130 chosen from among a plurality of potential second users (130, 160, 170). The CDN server 110 hosts a cash distribution application that facilitates the access, transfer and delivery of funds in accordance with aspects of the innovation. Network users (120, 130, 160, 170) access the cash delivery application as clients. The CDN 100 contains routers, switches, and other appropriate hardware 180 and connects to the internet or other suitable network.
In operation, the first network user 120 requests cash delivery. In response, a first bank 140 server associated with a first financial institution, associated with the first user 120, generates a token 190. In this example, the token is a commitment to pay money online. In this instance, the commitment is to pay a potential second user upon receipt of cash. The token 190 may include at least a phone number (or other unique identifier) of the first user 120, a network ID (identification) of the first financial institution, polices governing network behavior of the mobile devices, a one-time use credit card number, and/or biometric data provided by the first user 120. While an example token is described herein, it is to be understood that most any token or instruction can be employed without departing from the spirit and/or scope of the innovation herein.
The CDN server 110 searches the CDN for available couriers (130, 160, 170) for access to and delivery of cash. During the search, the location (e.g., geo-location), cash reserves, available currency, and proximity to the first user of potential couriers within a preset range are displayed on the mobile device associated with the first user 120 next to icons representing the potential second users (130, 160, 170). The first user 120 then selects an appropriate courier from among the plurality of available couriers as desired. All network users regularly update the CDN server 110 as to their location, and, if applicable, the status of their cash reserves. In aspects, this update occurs dynamically in real- or near real-time. Upon registering with the CDN all users register with the CDN or their respective banks (CDN member banks) as cash deliverers, cash recipients, or both. Users register with their mobile phones so that their location is always visible to the network.
When the courier arrives, the first user 120 presents the token to the courier 130 via their respective mobile devices in order to authenticate the first user 120 prior to delivering cash to the first user 120. The first user 120 receives cash user from the courier 130. The first bank server 140, automatically upon receipt of the cash by the first user 120, executes an electronic funds transfer to a second bank server 150 associated with a second financial institution, associated with the second user 130 in the amount of the cash delivered to the first user 120 and a previously specified commission.
Preferably, immediately upon logging on to the CDN 100, users are prompted for authentication in the form of a personal identification number (PIN). Other forms of authentication including, but not limited to, biometrics, etc. can be employed without departing from the spirit and/or scope of the innovation as described.
In some embodiments, the courier may take the form of an automated vehicle or car (or other vehicle, e.g., drone). The automated car may be equipped with an automatic teller machine (ATM) card printer and operative to produce a replacement ATM card for the first user upon request, utilizing information gleaned from databases housed at the first bank server 140 or CDN server 110.

It is to be appreciated that, as used herein “user” can be read interchangeably with “mobile device”, “device” or the like without departing from the spirit and/or scope of the innovation as disclosed and claimed herein.
FIGS. 3 and 4 are directed toward the depositing of cash with a courier from a network user or subscriber. While these figures (and the figures that follow) describe specific examples of a cash deposit system in accordance with the innovation, it will be appreciated that alternative aspects exist that are to be included within the spirit and scope of the innovation as described herein.
FIG. 3 illustrates an example system block diagram of a cash delivery network (CDN) 300, managed by a CDN server 310 that facilitates the depositing of cash from a first network user 320 to a selected courier (second user) 330 chosen from among a plurality of potential second users (330, 360, 370). The CDN server 310 hosts a cash distribution application. Network users (320, 330, 360, and 370) access the cash delivery application as clients. The CDN contains routers, switches, and other appropriate hardware 380 and connects to the internet or other appropriate network.
The first network user 320 makes a request to deposit cash. In an example, the request is made via a digital wallet (not shown) associated with the first user 320. In response, a first bank server 340 associated with a first financial institution, associated with the first user 320, accepts the request and authorizes a cash deposit.
The CDN server 310 scans the CDN to find an appropriate second user with which to make a cash deposit. During the scanning, the location and proximity to the first user of potential couriers within a preset range are displayed on the digital wallet associated with the first user 320 next to icons representing the potential second users (330, 360, 370). The first user 320 then selects an appropriate courier from among the plurality of available couriers as desired. As described supra, all network users regularly update the CDN server 310 as to their location. Upon registering with the CDN all users register with the CDN or their respective banks (CDN member banks) as cash deliverers, cash recipients, or both. Users register with their digital wallets so that their location is always visible to the network.
After a courier 330, associated with a digital wallet (not shown), has been selected, the first bank server 340 receives information over the CDN from the courier 330 that may include at least a phone number of the second user/courier 330, a network ID of a second financial institution associated with a second banking server 350 associated with the second user 330, polices governing network behavior of the digital wallets, a one-time use credit card number, and/or biometric data provided by the second user 330. The first bank server 340 uses this information to create a reverse token 390, which is a request to receive money online.
Upon the arrival of the second user 330, the first user 320 presents the reverse token 390 to the second user 330 via their respective digital wallets. The second bank server 350 receives and authenticates the reverse token 390, and authorizes the second user 330, to receive a cash deposit from the first user 320. The first user 320 deposits cash with the courier 330.
The second bank server 350, automatically upon receipt of the cash by the courier 330, executes an electronic funds transfer to the first bank server 340 in the amount of the cash delivered to the courier 330 and a previously specified commission.
In some embodiments, it will be appreciated that checks (or combinations of checks and cash) may be deposited in lieu of cash.
In some embodiments, in lieu of receiving electronic credit at the first financial institution in return for his deposit, the first user 330 may simply have the credit applied directly to his digital wallet and subsequently utilize all or part of funds received in exchange for his deposit to cover fees incurred for goods and/or services.
In some embodiments the first user 320 may deposit foreign currency with the courier 330 and receive U.S. currency in accordance with the appropriate exchange rate.
Preferably, immediately upon logging on to the CDN 300, users (e.g. mobile devices) are prompted for authentication in the form of a PIN or other appropriate authentication.
FIG. 4 illustrates an example flow diagram indicative of the method of operation 400 of the system depicted in FIG. 3 . The method steps (request cash deposit 410, generate reverse token identifying second user 420, scan CDN for second user 430, select second user from a plurality of users 440, send reverse token to second user for authentication 450, deposit cash with second user 460, and send repayment and commission to first bank server 470) are described in detail above with regard to the components of FIG. 5 .
FIG. 5 illustrates an example block diagram of a cash delivery framework 500 that facilities the delivery of cash to a user of a cash delivery network CDN 510 via one of a plurality of cash delivery elements.
The CDN is managed by servers associated with a bank or group of banks (or other financial institution). In examples, the CDN includes bank servers, associated with a bank or a group of banks that host a cash distribution application. The servers manage the framework and thus have visibility as to the status of the remaining framework elements. The CDN includes mobile or stationary computing devices associated with network users, the computing devices being operative to access the cash delivery application as clients. The CDN also includes routers, switches, and other appropriate hardware 180 and connects to the internet (or other appropriate network). For the sake of simplicity, the network elements are not shown. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate network elements to effect the disclosed features, functions and/or benefits.
The framework 500 also includes banking networks outside the CDN 520. These networks are utilized, for example, for roaming purposes. The financial institution with which a given user is associated may charge a higher fee to access the cash delivery application through outside networks 520.
Cash delivery elements include, but are not limited to: manned vehicle services such as ride-sharing services, taxi services, and limousine services 530, dedicated automated vehicles 540, travel booking services 550, kiosks at hotels, airports, and authorized businesses 560, and other applicable mobile or stationary means of dispensing (or collecting) cash 570.
The cash delivery elements are operative to serve as locations or entities at which or from which a user may receive cash or electronic credit upon request to and authorization from the CDN 510. Servers within the CDN 510 are operative to prompt a user immediately after he accesses the application, to enter a passcode to access the cash delivery system via a first bank server tied to a bank at which the user has an account.
Upon receiving a request for cash delivery from the user, the first bank server generates a token, the token being an online request to receive cash. The token comprises a phone number of the first user, a network ID of the first financial institution, and polices governing network behavior of the mobile devices, biometric information provided by the user, and a one-time use credit card number.
The first bank server is operative to present the token to a cash delivery element to authenticate the first user prior to delivering cash to the user. Upon authenticating the token, the cash delivery element is operative to deliver cash to the user. Immediately after receipt of cash, the first bank server automatically transfers electronic credit for the cash delivered plus a predetermined commission to a second bank server tied to a bank at which the cash delivery element has an account.
In some embodiments, the CDN 510 is operative to inform the user of the proximity and cash reserves of cash delivery elements and allow the user to select the desired cash delivery element.
In some embodiments, the various potential second users negotiate commission rates with the CDN 510 in an effort to make themselves more competitive by offering lower rates.
In some embodiments, the CDN 510 is operative to provide foreign currency in lieu of U.S. dollars upon request from the user in accordance with the appropriate exchange rate.
In some embodiments, the CDN 510 is operative, upon request from a user, to deliver cash to an identified third party, wherein the CDN 510 sends a token to a mobile device associated with the third party generated based on information provided by the user, and the third party must present the token to the cash delivery element prior to receiving cash.
In some embodiments, the CDN 510 is operative to facilitate a loan between a cash delivery element and a user upon request by the user and with the approval of the cash delivery element. In such an instance, the borrower will be subject to a smart contract that stipulates that money will be automatically transferred from the bank account of the borrower to the bank account of the lender, at a specified later period.
